   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3606
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Kelly and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court clearly considered 
   potential sentence disparity in determining the appropriate sentence and 
   expressly weighed the other statutory considerations justifying the 
   sentence imposed, including the seriousness of the offense, defendant's 
   need for treatment, the interest in deterring similar criminal conduct and 
   the need to protect the public from further crimes; the court did not 
   abuse its discretion in varying upward.
